Thu - How are you keeping active?

I’ve been pretty good actually! I workout using weights five times a week, do cardio on Wednesdays and on Saturdays I go for walks with my friend ☺️✨🌻

I’ve started using notion for my productivity/schedules. I really like it :O I also started using it for some of my class readings, even though the semester is almost over. Def gonna use it for my notes and class organization next semester :)

Good Morning! I hope everyone’s day is lovely today ☺️☕️✨

back to basics!

Day 33/100 days of productivity

Today’s Achievements:

Made way more pasta cos the shops are still out

Finished some more of my maths paper

Looked through my food revision notes

Made dinner

There wasn’t a lot done today but I’ve been finding it hard to motivate myself since what’s going on around GCSEs... hopefully we’ll get some answers soon

Cultural Dark Academia

After my last post about the lack of representation in academia, I felt it neccessary to provide some examples of what I’m talking about. Obviously there are more countries in the world than I can list and provide books for, so for a quick list this is what I got. !! Keep researching !! If you have any more books by POC please reply them !! If a country isn’t listed, that doesn’t mean it’s not important, this is just what I could get together real quick. If I made any mistakes, please let me know, we’re all learning. We need to help each other end eurocentrism in academia, so value representation and educate yourselves 💓💓💓
